hi I have some holes to fill from window catches that were fitted and removed, they are around 3mm dia, so what would you use ?
Thanks
 
Only thing I’ve found of any use is some white silicone. Try to flatten off the hole first by pulling a piece of hard plastic across it in all directions, as usually the edges are proud. It won’t be perfect but your eye (and therefore anyone else’s) won’t be drawn to it at all.
 
Thanks have flattened them with the edge of a Stanley blade and just wondered if there was a white glue/ filler that the trade used before I try silicone
 
There are wax repair kits for about £50 but they are an artform to use.
You could try Stelmax but that stuff goes off instantly so again is tricky to use.

I would go with the white silicone first. At least if it stands out and bugs you you can easily clean it up and try another option later on
 
I have a wax repair kit and I'm pretty handy with one, white is pretty easy, fill - sand - polish, woodgrains are where you earn your money, LOL I never made much money on woodgrains!
